After signing this petition please formally object via http://didcot.space (will redirect you to the Garden Town plan page) or send an email to [email protected] Comments can be as short or long as you like - just make it clear you object to building on Ladygrove Park. Consultation on these proposals has been extended to 28th February, so please do it now. Thank you! There are plans for 15,000 new houses to be built in Didcot as part of the "Didcot Garden Town" project. This is more than those planned for Bicester Garden Town, recently described as a "dog's breakfast" with ecologically important flower rich meadows being lost to housing. Proposals for Didcot have been announced that are WORSE than first feared. They include building technical office space and accommodation over roughly half of the Ladygrove recreation ground and play park. The remnants would be developed such that there would be no substantial level open green space for casual sports or recreation. A new road cutting across the play park and flats on the play park, opposite the Willowbrook and behind the football club with no additional parking serve to top of this awful proposal. The current morning congestion around the primary school would be intolerable. Our facilities, green spaces and paths integral to our local parkrun are threatened.

If we are to protect our green spaces and amenities the time to act is now, by obtaining a simple undertaking from the project team before their plans are fully formed. If you want to save them please sign this petition and share it with your friends. Thank you!

This is important because a 74 year old gentleman was left to rot and decompose in a tent, on the bank of the River Severn in Worcester over the summer of 2016. Cardon Banfield came over with the Windrush community and was let down by the state in his final days. In a report by Worcester City Council, it was found that lessons can be learned from the death of Cardon. Councillor Lynn Denham stated that we should learn these lessons - and the undersigned believe we can only do that with a Safeguarding Adults Review. The Worcester City Council-funded CCP service (which the taxpayer pays £240,000 a year for) should have found Cardon's body. Help get Justice for Cardon, hold the right people accountable and stop another tent death happening on our streets again.

Because letting rough sleepers remain on our streets could kill them. It is inhumane and lacking in basic compassion

If Rupert Murdoch has full control of Sky TV then in my opinion too much UK news media will be in the control of one person/company.

There is currently a proposal to make 20 million pounds worth of cuts to the Birmingham Parks Budget . This means reducing staffing in the 6 major parks down to only 2 hubs with these expected to manage every other country park and park space run by BCC in the whole of Birmingham. This will mean no more supported schools groups, a huge reduction and diminishment to our green spaces, no more eco action and nature events ... or secret santa, or nursery for plants to make our city beautiful, no more community action liaison work, no more drug and alcohol support group work, no more keeping an eye on our country parks to keep them safe places for us to visit, reduced visitor centres and significantly less maintenance of these precious spaces across our city. Without regular care will fall into dereliction and disrepair. We need these major parks for our kids to play in, for us to walk in and keep fit, and we want to know they are staffed and safe! Birmingham is the UK's second city with the most green space of any uk city these spaces don't just look after themselves. They need dedicated care to remain the nurturing places we all know and love. Unfortunately central conservative government has slashed the council budget for Birmingham (a labour council) disproportionately compared to say that of conservative Oxford. It's not right!!! The consultation document is worded to try and get those who do respond to agree to these draconian cuts as a good idea...we need to stop them and the consultation is only open to respond to until the first week in January 2017.

Lost beds in Derbyshire could mean that people are sent home to recover from illnesses rather than being kept under observation. Let’s make sure that our NHS doctors can make decisions they think are best for patients. Our NHS is already being starved of funds. The percentage of Government spending on healthcare in 2015-16 was 6.6%. It used to be close to 10%. We are now spending about the same as Slovenia and Iceland and behind Greece and Belgium. While there is a need to join-up care in Derbyshire this is being done in the context of £22 billions cuts in the NHS and may well result in loss of nearly a third of hospital beds in Derbyshire. How can we afford to lose more beds? This continued degradation of the NHS will foster the call for further break-up of the NHS and selling off to the private sector.

This is really important to stand up and get our voice heard. Our council is spending hard earned taxes on irrelevant needs such as refurbishments that do not benefit the community. Derby has not got enough support for the likes of education, health care, leisure, support for the homeless, the younger generation, the elderly, the people who work for the council and the community that lives here. This is to stand up and make it known we want this money to be spent on the larger priorities. People have lost their jobs due to cuts yet it is perfectly acceptable to spend £2.5 million on a refurbishment? There are much larger issues that need to be addressed. We would like the Council to hear our voices and reconsider how they spend the money.

Plans have been drawn up in secret for yet another top-down re-organisation of our NHS. Called Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs), their main aim is to reduce NHS spending by around £22 billion by 2020-21 across England. In the Hampshire and Isle of Wight area alone (HIOW), which includes Southampton, £1 billion of savings, must be made over the next 5 years. These plans represent the second radical, top-down reorganisation of our NHS in 4 years. Local planners have been forbidden to conduct consultations on the whole plan for the area. So there will only be piecemeal consultations where particular problems arise. Although the plans contain some good ideas for integrating health and social care, the financial reductions required will limit how these can be achieved. Earlier drafts of the STP, and published discussions amongst NHS Managers, show that the STP is based on some really worrying assumptions: e.g. that 3 out of the 6 acute hospitals in HIOW will be unsustainable in the next 5 years, or that 30% of GP practices will be unsustainable by 2020/21. Local people are entitled to know how these judgements were made, and to have their say on the plans. This petition is organised by: Southampton Keep Our NHS Public. (SKONP).

The regional Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) is a largely hidden, high-level plan to hurriedly bring about the integration of health and social care, with a central role given to private providers. It is motivated more by hope than any real understanding of need and with no consultation with professionals and the public. - From the extreme level of “savings” outlined in both the STP and the part of the plan focused on mid-Sussex & East Surrey it is clear that the key objective is to reduce costs regardless of consequence. - In illustration of this, the amount our region (STP footprint 33) is being asked to save by 2020/21 is a staggering £653 million. - “Savings” already specified in the STP report include £112m on social care - £47.4m to be saved by encouraging GPs not to refer people to hospital - These plans nationally will put the final nail in the coffin of a comprehensive NHS and locally will have an irrevocably damaging impact on the health of city residents. - Local authorities round England are now protesting about STP and refusing to sign up. One local authority has initiated legal action. As citizens of Brighton & Hove we ask that the HOSC, with its role of overseeing and scrutinising our local health services, act urgently. We urge you as our elected representatives to: - Pass a motion of opposition to STP - Set up a review panel to call witnesses to account for all aspects of the STP and the Place-based Delivery Plan so an informed decision can be made by the whole council. - Initiate a full public consultation on the final detailed plan before any decisions are made to ratify it 1. https://www.coastalwestsussexccg.nhs.uk/building-first-class-health-and-care-system-for-sussex-and-east-surrey 2.

If they close our council office we have no place to report faults pay rent or council tax. I don't think it's fair for the pensioner's to travel mile away to the nearest one

It's a crucial community amenity asset.

Pelsall Library is less than five years old - it is in a state of the art multi purpose building £5.2m. Closing the facility now would be retrograde and a complete and utter waste of taxpayer money. Pelsall Library is enjoyed by all young and old - a lifeline to many and a hub of the Pelsall community
